Mountain breezes stirred.
The fishpond rippled in concentric circles.
Bathing in the sunlight, Tang Pingde felt drowsy, as if ready to sleep forever at any moment.
After checking his pulse, Wu Jie did not rush to speak out.
Turning his head slightly, Tang Pingde offered a kind smile and looked at Wu Jie with a gentle gaze.
"Though life is full of injustices, in the face of death, everyone is equal!"
"No matter how high-ranking, famous, or wealthy one becomes, in the end, no one can escape death!"
Tang Pingde exhaled deeply, his gaze distant as if he could see himself resting in eternal peace, closing his eyes for the last time.
Wu Jie remained silent.
No one can escape from birth, aging, illness, and death.
Aging in humans is a result of cell division slowing down, mutations, diseases, coupled with external environmental factors, food, air, and their long-term interactions, leading to gradual bodily deterioration.
